About MADE Program
The Manufacturing Advancement and Development in Egypt (MADE) program is now open for applications for Cohort 2 and Cohort 3!
The Manufacturing Advancement and Development in Egypt (MADE) program was launched in 2022 in partnership with GIZ Egypt. It is a pre-incubation and incubation program for future entrepreneurs to work together on developing innovative solutions for the manufacturing sector in Egypt. The aim of the program is to identify students and recent graduates who have innovative ideas for the industry and to support them in making their solutions viable and marketable in practice.
The program kicks off with a national open call for applications where 25 teams will be selected to join a pitch training and competition, the program’s first stage. Eight teams will then be selected to participate in the second stage, a three-month pre-incubator, where they receive a comprehensive training program to validate their solution and structure a prototype for implementation. Following that, three teams will be selected to join the final stage, a six-month incubation period, where they will receive the resources needed to create a minimum viable product (MVP) from their concepts and prepare for its commercialization.
The program’s first edition has supported a cohort of entrepreneurs providing solutions in the Energy track. Applications are now open for the second and third cohorts to tackle challenges in two tracks: Water (challenges related to water systems) and Food (challenges related to food and agriculture.)
Want to learn more about each track and the challenges it tackles? Visit the track pages here: Water and Food.
